HCM Pro RGM-79[G] 08 MS Platoon: change the head and the color and viola, a new Bandai product. ^^

120GB USB Flash? yeah right!

120gb thumbdrive
Walking around a bargain shop mall I found these curious looking USB flash drives. apparently this particular group of shops in Shanghai is so technologically advanced, they already have 120 gigabyte thumbdrives on sale.  I said to myself “yeah right, these are the people who sell iphones like this” (product clearly looks more like a iPhony than an iPhone). ^^
Iphoney
however the guy was selling them for around 10usd, so I’ll be worth it, even if the flash drive just turned out to be a 1 gigabyte USB drive. so I decided to get a 64 gigabyte one, brought it back to the hotel room and plugged it to my laptop just to test it out. to my suprise, the drive did register as a 64gb removable device. but still being skeptical I tried to copy in 5 gigabytes worth of images into it, the files did write into the drive, however when I tried to preview the images, everything registered as corrupted. suffice to say all I got myself is a 10 dollar keychain. ^^

sanghi cigarettes
I’m more accustomed to seeing the sanghee symbol used in weddings, but apparently in China it’s one of the leading cigarette brand. lol!
